Better Pics of the new V4 Euromariner Case


Tribal

Recommended Posts

Now here are some better Pics of my new Submariner :p

Base Case is the V4 Euromariner Case with no Lugholes

I installed a Eta 2836-2 Movement on this,the Dial is a Noobmariner Dial

Datewheel is a gen 3135

Insert is also Gen

Glass is a genereic from the Bay

The Cg's are reshaped in length and to gen dimensions

Noob Bracelet

Will replace the Tube and Crown to Gen in the future but must source the Parts..

I can't tell any differences about the Rehaut and Crystal anymore

Also the Crown placement is not bad for an Eta based Case

Biggest Improvement for me is the nice Date and the right magnification on this one :rolleyes:

Here now some better Pics :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

You know Tribal, I just don't think it gets any better than this. A 'perfect' sub for 1/10th the cost of a gen! If it passes the WR test, what more could you ask for? You can beat this watch to death, and it still only costs $500-700. Who cares, sure beats the heck out of wasting a gen! I love it.

@ Ubi

something went wrong here ;)

same kitchen desk, we drive Audi and love the same watches?!?

Thanks Guys,

I have a gen Crystal on the way now,hope it has the

edged Crown on it.

But for now it's really damn close to gen expect the Bracelet.

So with all the talk of the crystal shape and retaining ring being broken on purpose, what does the average forum member need to do to the Euromariner V4? If I buy the gen 2836 version, do I only run into modding problems if I decide that I want a gen bezel? I am about 5 minutes away from pulling the trigger (as I met a forum member out on the town last weekend and he had the Euromariner) on this watch but I don't want crystal issues that I have seen reported.

The gasket ring is not broken, it is a different design, it has 2 gaskets, (so not 1 piece that is broken in two.... it i just two) where the gen has only one piece gasket...

It is hard to explain but it is slightly different design.... the way they put together... anyways I will improve it by putting in a generic crystal (without etched crown at 6 oclock ----which will make it closer to gen----) with ONE gasket like gen (instead of 2 gaskets) and the exact same date-mag 2.5x as genuine and as my current date-mag 2.5x....

So a new mod is on its way... I have ordered it already one sample crystal and gasket if this works out fine and easy.... all new euromariners will have a new aftermarket crystal at no additional cost to the client.... so You want the best.... We will get you the best!

Thanks to Tribal for helping and educating me on the improvements that needed to be made! Thanks Dirk (tribal) it is thanks to him that I got the nice design you guys are seeing. It is like a communual project :)

And more exclusive projects are on its way!!!

nice work !

thanks Chris for improving the watch !

i hope the problems will be fixed - esp. the 2 gaskets make no sense.

i just got now slowly the gen parts for my "PT Supreme" or whatever Sub - its the same like WM9.

i just installed a gen bezel and a gen insert and it snaps right in without any problems.

this was not the case with my Euromariner - so i suspect they are not the same watch -

i hope the problems will be fixed in Euro V5 ;)

when i have time a will post some pics of the PT Sub vs my Gen in modded state - but i have to say so far the

PT Sub is the better Rep than the (also good) Euromariner.

cheers,

Frank

so I talked to Chris about the Crystal problem.

I thought by my first review the Crystal gasket where broken.

Now we know it was not.

Chris told me he has also PT's Sub and he tried two mix the Parts

from both watches.

The result was that the Crystal include gasket from Pt fits the Euro.

The same works with the retaining Ring from PT and also the one from

the Euro on PT's Sub.

So I think the Case design is the same only the Crystal and gaskets are different.

I had also no problems to install a gen Insert it snaps in easily.

Maybe there are small differences from Case to Case from factory?

Who knows.

As I modded WGenzos WM9 he send me also an after market Crystalgasket

and it don't fit the Case so I decided to take the rep gasket for the

gen Crystal.

also a gen Bezel won't fit without a little work on the WM9

so there are also some small issues.

So I think the Case design is the same only the Crystal and gaskets are different.

Remember what I said about the crystal and rehaut thickness?

I was 100% certain that only the WM9 had the correct rehaut thickness and correct look (i.e that bevel right below the crystal). But now, after the crystal exchange you seem to have that too. The case probably IS the same, which you stated in your initial Euromariner review.

The crystal/bevel (and lack of correct "front thickness") is the only remaining "weak link" on the Euromariner (before the crystal/gasket exchange).

Your Sub looks awesome!

well i bought and paid :D the Euromariner and the PT Sub -

i think the only thing they share is the CAD-file of the middle case :D

the engravings on the case are different,

the caseback is different,

the movement is different,

the dial is different,

the bezel assembly is different,

the bezel insert is different,

the bracelet is different ...

did i miss something ? ;)

kind of reminds me of this clone MBWs that where selling some time ago.

anyway - as i also got also a few PMs from other members : there is a urgent need for a V5 with

better bezel assembly.

yes - the gen bezel ring snaps in the PT Sub without problems -

than the insert snaps in and stays there - this is not the case with the actual Euromariner and should

be fixed pronto :D

cheers,

Frank

Tribal, in your opinion does the bezel insert sit as recessed as the gen bezel assembly would allow? Your photos do show a difference when compared to Ubi's photos (which I believe is a complete gen bezel assembly.)

I've been waiting for about a year hoping this small difference is addressed or hoping I find one on the bay, but not for the price it went for! Getting tired of waiting. -_-
